Join us at Spring Praise Fest! It is a FREE non-denominational, outdoor, contemporary Christian music festival. Now in our 9th year, this family event features a day of Contemporary Praise and Worship music, food, and games with fun for the whole family.

Every year, we have a lineup of the most dynamic contemporary Christian music bands from Brevard County, sharing the Word of God through their music. This is a family oriented event.

We are thrilled to announce SPF9 headliner, Randall Evan “Randy” Stonehill. This singer-songwriter is best known as one of the pioneers of contemporary Christian music. His music is primarily folk rock; although, some of his albums have focused on new wave, pop, pop rock, roots rock and children’s music.

Multi-Media Chalk Artist, Jason Anthony, returns to close out our exciting line up. Jason Anthony is a Christian inspirational speaker and chalk artist who travels nationally impacting audiences of all ages. Jason has a gift of blending scripture, personal stories and multimedia chalk art in a way that makes his presentations powerful, memorable and life changing. His personal, dynamic style is always a crowd pleaser.

Spring Praise Fest promises something for people of all ages. This is a family oriented, multi-generational event. Entertainment, other than the many bands, include a rock climbing wall, bounce houses and slides, face painting, balloon makers, activities and games for children and families. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs and sunscreen. Food is available for a nominal charge.

Note: We are an all-volunteer organization. Every dollar we receive from our sponsors goes directly into the fund to produce this annual gift to our community. If you have specific questions, please visit Spring Praise Fest to contact us. It is the most efficient way to get your questions answered.

We invite you and your family to come enjoy a family-oriented day of music and fun! There will be a lot of free activities for kids of all ages, including bounce houses, face painting, a water fountain, a rock climbing wall and family games. Musical guest Randy Stonehill will perform live and the event will conclude with Chalk Artist Jason Anthony. We encourage you to bring blankets and/or lawn chairs to sit in when you enjoy the show. The event is outside so don’t forget your sunscreen! Admission to the event is free and food will be available for purchase.

Every year, Spring Praise Fest likes to give back to the community. If you’d like to give back too, please bring a lightly-used or new pair of practical shoes to donate to the less fortunate of Brevard County through the House of Hope in Merritt Island.

Brittney Maier is a renowned pianist. Born blind, autistic, mentally disabled and four and a half months premature, she started playing songs she had heard on her toy piano at one year old. Now, at 26, she is considered one of the most gifted savant pianists in the world. She has played nationally and even played for former Governor and Mrs. Pataki at a monthly Prayer Breakfast in N.Y. She is a miracle of God’s love. Please come and be blessed by this amazing woman.
